Thanks Hamish
I am also using jMaps2 and saw that adding addMarker:false should return the
point object, then I would have point.y and point.x this doesn't appear to
be happening though.
I also spotted the references to what you pointed out in the jmaps.js file,
but because I am using jmap2 I guess the searchAddress function in
jmap2.jssupercedes the original.
So when I try
$address = $('#map').searchAddress({
address: $('#fromAddress').val(),
cache: $.jmap.GGeoCache,
returntype: 'object',
addMarker:false
and do an alert($address) I actually get a HTML div Object, not a data
array. Whats going on? This looks like it should be returning an array.....
